Piña Colada Mini Popsicles

Pina Colada Popsicles – a simple and delicious summer treat that you can make with or without rum!

I’m not one to have any kind of alcohol during the day. But years ago we spent a couple of weeks in Maui and suddenly a pineapple and umbrella garnished Piña Colada seemed like a perfectly reasonable lunch beverage. Fortunately I didn’t take that habit home with me, but even now Piña Coladas remind me of sun, sea and relaxation.

So when my friend Faith sent me a copy of her new book, BLEND smoothies, the Piña Colada smoothie was the first recipe I tried. And since it’s the middle of summer, I decided to freeze the smoothie as mini Piña Colada popsicles (booze optional).

There are 34 other smoothie recipes left to try in this terrific book. It’s a collaboration between Faith of An Edible Mosaic and Alyssa of Everyday Maven. Faith did a lovely job of photographing each smoothie and the recipes are separated into several helpful categories from quick and healthy to decadent!

My favorite popsicle molds are actually 2-ounce shot glasses. To me they’re the perfect size – 6 or 7 bites of frozen goodness. To remove them from the glasses once they’re frozen, just run a little warm water over the outside of the glass and give the popsicle stick a gentle twist.

Congratulations Faith and Alyssa on your beautiful book! I’ll be enjoying recipes from it all summer long.

You can make these a little boozy like traditional Piña Coladas or omit the rum for a frozen treat that kids can enjoy too!

Great idea here Marissa using a smoothie to make a popsicles. I literally just finished reviewing the book myself, so many interesting twists and flavors. With the heat we’ve been having this should hit the spot. Have a great weekend!

Oooh, I could really go for one of these right now! I love that you turned these into popsicles and using those shot glasses is such a great idea! I’m a big fan of Faith’s and her book sounds wonderful 🙂

I could not love this anymore! An awesome tropical drink in popsicle form – sold! Now all I need is the beach 😉 And what a fantastic idea to use a shot glass as the popsicle mold! That means one less extra thing to buy 😉

Hi Marissa! These sound perfect for the hot days we are having! I had popsicle molds when my kids were little that have long ago disappeared, but I have tall shot glasses! Margaritas are another hot weather drink I’m quite fond of!

Pina Coladas are definitely quintessential summer.. and if I’m on vacation they make the best lunch accompaniment! 😉 Love that you took the pina colada smoothie and turned it into a mini popsicle!! Using the shot glasses as a mold is genius!! It’s almost lunch time, and I’m not on vacation, but I’m thinking I need one of these right about now. Pinned! Cheers!

I can’t thank you enough for your lovely review! It is always so hard for me to pick a favorite from the book, but this is definitely high on the list; Pina Coladas remind me of warm summer days too! And I love that you made these into pops – so refreshing!
